BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah guerrillas unleashed their deadliest barrage of rockets yet into northern Israel, killing at least 12 people...as fighting only intensified despite a draft U.N. cease-fire resolution.
Hezbollah and its allies rejected the draft resolution, saying its terms for a halt in fighting do not address Lebanon's demands in a signal that the nearly 4-week-old battle will burn on.
Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets late Sunday on the port city of Haifa, injuring dozens of people, in the heaviest attack on Israel's third largest city since fighting began.
News reports said one person was killed, and emergency services said more than 30 people were injured. A Haifa fire department spokeman said one crowded residential district suffered five or six hits and there were many casualties.
Hezbollah fired a volley of 80 rockets at several other Israeli towns. One of them made a direct hit on a crowd of people at the entrance of the communal farm of Kfar Giladi, killing 11 people, rescue workers said. [One of the critically wounded died later, bringing the death toll to 12.]

And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disquieted no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more. 2 Samuel Chapter 7-10
Israel needs to unleash hell on these people, world opinion be damned.
Is Yossi Beilin concerned yet or is he blaming his own country for this attack?
"Israel needs to unleash hell on these people, world opinion be damned.:
You are so right. Geez, when did politics ever become subserviant to opinion polls? Israel (and the US) should screw the polls and just get on with business!
I outgrew popularity contests in high school! Come on "W", you are older than me,,popularity counts for SQUAT!!
You're feeling like I am. Today is the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. I wonder if it isn't time to do it again, but against a much more dangerous enemy.
When, Lord? Let it be soon, that the children of iniquity are removed from the surface of the Earth, and any who afflict Israel are silenced and made to bend their knees Your righteousness.
Not for at least another 7 years...
Damascus needs to disappear literally and then Tehran if the rockets do not stop flying into Israel.
Thank you for this thread. Bump.
Kill every one of them, then raze and salt liberally.
Indeed! I was looking for Green Helmut Guy and White Shirt Guy.
Hi Norm, I agree. In the days immediately following 9/11/01, while waiting for a meeting to commence at work, I and a few others were talking about nuking Mecca or something. Interestingly, a very devout and kindly Jewish manager said no, that would make matters worse. Although I understand his point of view, I don't agree with it. I think that although a well-placed nuke won't win us any friends, it will win us respect and fear. I'd much rather have the latter.
It ain't gonna happen, toooo many cooks in the kitchen! In other words Israelis hands are handcuffed by the UN, other Arab nations and the USA! :(
Jonny, I'm glad you saw this thread. I'm only responding to a very tiny number of people. While my DSL is up, I wanted to say thanks for bumping this thread.
IS that boot.... smoking!? Dang. Blew the soldier out of his boots. Wow, that's a powerful image. Thanks for sharing. Keep safe.
You're welcome, Just A Nobody.
Prayers lifted.
Got my vote, I. Tears are running down my face just looking at all those dead soldiers and civilians.
Damn, damn, damn.
Got my vote, S.
